Horse
Holidays are made for doing things you have never tried before and for doing the things that you love but normally do not have the time or energy to pursue in your daily life. From surfing to hiking to wine-tasting, there are all sorts of pursuits that can be enjoyed at your leisure while on holidays, without worrying about having to get back to chores or work and without having to consider any potential costs incurred in the way that you might normally have to factor into your plans. For many, one great example of an activity that they may have long loved but never have quite enough time for or easy access to if they live in bigger towns and cities and an activity that others may be curious about but never actually got around to trying out is horseback riding! Particularly enjoyable if you are exploring new landscapes, horseback riding is especially wonderful for those who have found a vacation rental in Tuscany as the stunning, rolling hills and pastoral settings of the Tuscan countryside make for the perfect place to befriend a new equine pal and plod along together through the prettiest of surroundings.     Read More

Horse-riding in Chianti
If you've found a luxury villa in Florence and are spending time in that great city, you might find the crowds of tourists and pace of trying to see everything a little tiresome after a while. Of course, you'll want to see as much as you can and it is worth the lines but it might be worth escaping the city for a little while so you can return revived and ready to tackle the wealth of things to see and do. Why not take a day trip out of the city and get some fresh air by exploring the nearby Chianti region on horseback? A fun and somewhat different way to get around and see things, this is a great way to get some light exercise and to explore both the Tuscan landscape and the wine-making heritage of the famous Chianti area.     Read More
